instead, susan rice and jay carney were basically saying this was the video two weeks later. >> susan rice had caveats. she said as far as we know, her quotation is taken out of a longer interview. in all of those interviews she said as best as the fbi is telling us, which was based of course at that point on the intelligence from the cia. so is it fair to parse the words that closely? >> yeah, because the whole emphasis she gave, she totally deemphasized the terrorist aspect. to me, the circumstantial evidence at least at that time was overwhelmingly that this probably was a terrorist attack. now, they could have said we're not certain, but acknowledge that most of the evidence seemed to be that it was. mike rogers was the first one on september 12th or 13th who said there was too much sophisticated fighting for this just to be a spontaneous demonstration. that's where i fault the administration. they tried to i think take the intelligence and make it fit into the president's narrative that al qaeda has been defeated, al qaeda is on the run. now we can turn to other specifics. >> wha

we wanted to break out of jay carney's remarks real fast to take you back to this. let's listen in. >> and we all know this, no politician is more skilled as striking heroic poses against imaginary adversaries and nobody is better at rebuking non-existent opinions, and barack obama does this all of the time, and in this campaign, we are going to call him on it.
